    <p>I'm trying to allow the users of my app to publish stories on their walls from my application for things such as Achievements(for example) within my application. Here is the activity code, adapted from the HelloFacebookActivitySample:</p> <p>With both activities, I can see my app name, description, and link no problem when I post. Using the latest version of the FB SDK. However, the string (message) that I pass through the newStatusUpdateRequest() method is not displayed.</p> <p>(In this attempt, I'm trying to pass text from a text view) The first way I tried it:</p> <pre><code>public class Settings_Facebook extends FragmentActivity { //Constants private static final String PERMISSION = "publish_actions";

    1. CO"I'd like for them to be able to post without having to type in the post content" - careful with that, the posted message always has to be 100% user generated, see facebook terms. so, at some point, the user will have to create the message.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
